SCRANTON - A bike safety fair at McDade Park will aim to provide a refresher on the rules of the road.

To promote safety, 300 helmets will be distributed for free on April 27 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Bike safety talks will be conducted by Kathy Fox, the Lackawanna County safety coordinator, and the Scranton Police Department, county spokesman Joseph D'Arienzo said in a news release.

To receive a helmet, children have to attend a brief bike safety talk. When the presentation is complete, they will be given a hand stamp to pick up a helmet.
